Question

If the growth factor is 1.2, what is the growth rate

Answer 1

Step 1 :

In this question, we are meant to know the relationship between Growth factor and Growth Rate.

Growth factor is the factor by which a quantity multiplies itself over time.

Growth rate is the addend by which a quantity increases ( or decreases ) over time.

Step 2 :

From the question, if the growth factor is 1.2 which is also 120 %,

then the growth rate will be ( 120 - 100 ) % = 20 % = 0. 2

CONCLUSION:

The Growth Rate = 0. 2
